• Leadership and communication skills: Partook in community development by independently delivering an afterschool programme on the debating skill to a multicultural class of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. I was my student’s first point of contact for enquiries regarding the programme. • Networking, liaison, and administrative skills: regularly produced progress reports on my student’s performance. Organised meetings online and in-person regularly using IT and Microsoft tools. Facilitated support in organising virtual and in-person programme events during my sessions that stakeholders of Debate Mate would attend. During these events I frequently liaised with partners of Debate Mate. • I was responsible for instilling motivation in the group of young people and trained them to develop great oral communication and teamwork skills. This equipped them to participate in national competitions like the Debate Mate Cup and Urban Debate League (UDL). The class achieved 7th place in round 1 of the UDL and awarded 3rd place in round 2.
